Summary. Background: High-performance labor in
industries serves as a basis for economic growth, population well-being,
decent life and free human development. Therefore it is vitally
important to create enabling conditions for such labour Ä¾ technical,
organizational, economic, normal relations between participants of the
production process, i.e. owners of labor power (employees) and owners of
means of production (employers).

The state used to be the owner of means of production and at the same
time it was supposed to protect the interests of workers; now its role
is different. The state is the go-between in labor relations governed by
the current law and also the guarantor of social protection of people
through executive and insurance bodies that monitor execution of law and
workersÄº social security and implement social programs in professional
safety, healthcare and rehabilitation of employment injuries.

The aim of the study is to substantiate
health-protecting technologies aimed at improved quality of life and
health status on the basis of comprehensive evaluation of quality of
life and lifestyle and factors affecting the morbidity of workers.

Objectives: a) to evaluate relations between lifestyle
and working conditions and self-assessment of health by workers of the
tube rolling mill; b) to develop evidence-based system of organizational
preventive measures aimed at developing health-preserving technologies
within the labor collective that encourage improvements in quality of
life and health status.

Results. Health-preserving technologies developed with
due regard to non-industrial and industrial risk factors, principles of
continuity and step-wise approach showed high medical and social
effectiveness and economic efficiency.

Practical value. Guidelines on the use of the
three-level system of organizational preventive measures on
health-preserving technologies were developed based on the study
results. Implementation of health-preserving technologies will enhance
self-assessment of health by workers and also improve quality of life.
